Some early Friday morning scuttlebutt on Facebook saying Eels have made an offer to sign Thomas Jenkins from the Panthers. I really have no idea if this is true or the validity behind the rumours, but this is a signing I can definitely get behind. Hopefully we've made him a great offer that puts Penrith in a difficult position to retain him. They have Tago and To'o on around $800k each, Alomoti and McClean on moderate deals, so it's a stacked backline and someone's gotta go, and they can't keep them all.
Jenkins is young and has a great career ahead of him, if we storm in with slightly overs for 3+ years it will be a great investment because we're shit at developing wingers. Let's hope this rumour is true 🤞
- Iongi
- Addo-Car
- Nanva
- Penisini
- Jenkins
That's a solid backline to build on.
Anyone with inside goss feel free to let us know?

Simmo has the respect, definitely. I think we're just achnowledging the battle he's had with big injuries EVERY YEAR he's played with us. Physically that's a monumental effort to overcome and I think we need to be smart and plan ahead.
He is worth it. Look how good Turuva has been for Tigers
If he came to us he would immediately turn shit
It's easy to look good in a good team. He didn't get much of a look in at Newcastle but plays in a great team and LOOKS like a million bucks.
I wouldn't break the bank for him and what young juniors path gets blocked because we signed him?
Not sure this is the right move?
